The bill for the suppression of policy
gambling has passed the Legislature,
and now is law. Mayor RhOads very
properly intends to make himself
acquainted with the provisions of the
amended bill, and then he will
move upon the gamblers. If the policy
playing will not be broken up in Will
mingtOn it will be no fault of the
Mayor. He recOllects the laugh the
gamblers had at his expense when a
future attempt to break up their bust
ness failed. He intends that there
shall be no failure this time, and there
shall be no snickering in the back
seats of the gamblers synagOgue.-Re-

At the county democratic conven-
lion held in this city on Oct. lst, the
committee on resolutions reported
among others, the following, which
was adopted:
Resolved. That we condemn in the
strongest terms the negligent and care
less waste, useless extravaganza. and
utter disregard of the solemn pledges of
reform and the needless disregard of the
expressed wishes of the people. on the
part of republican county officials. by
which burdensOme taxes are forced upon
the people"
The Democrat commends this resO-
luton to the people of the county,
and further commenting. says THE
democrats of Thomas county have
thrown down the gauntlet of purity in
the administration of public affairs,
and woe unto him who dares lift it
from its resting place, unless his gar
ments be pure and white What
does the Democrat mean? 1t must
know, as all democrats or others in
terested can know, that the books of
the officers of Thomas county areopen
for inspection, and that they cannot
substantiate a single accusation set
forth in the above resolution The
people of this county will hold the
democratic party to facts. If they have
facts and figures, let them be produc-
ed to show either corruption or I'M
necessary increase of taxation on the
part of our county officials. We de-
ny point blank that there has been any
corruption on the part of the officials
of the county, or that they or any of
them since the election last fall have
added to the percentage of taxation
over what it was under the previous
administration. As for waste, extrav-
agance, etc, the resolution means
nothing. If the democratic party
of this county propose to fatten on
assertions which they cannot prove,
and propose to deliberately resolve
that certain things exist which they
must know do not. then they will pass
some more resolutions similar to the
above. If they have facts, not empty
assertions, they ought to be able to
adduce them, and without facts to
substantiate. attempts to tarnish rep
utation are despicable. II

BATEMAN-LUPTON.
A Brilliant Wedding.

The residence of Hon. Jere. HI. Lup-
ton, on Vine street, was the scene of a
brilliant wedding at noon Tuesday. The
contracting parties were Mary NJ, the
youngest daughter of Hon. jeremiah
H. Lupton, and r. Morris Bateman, of
Camden, grandson of the late DIR. Eli
Bateman, and son of the late DR.. Robt.
M. Bateman, of Cedarville.
The bride was handsomely dressed
in a rich white satin dress, and looked
charming as she, accompanied with
the groom, who was attired in the con-
ventional black suit, entered the parlor
where the words fitting to the occa-
sion, making them man and wife were
spoken by Rev. e. B. Palmer, of Phil
adelphia, formerly of this city. The
decorations of the parlor were beauti-
full, being arranged in truly artistic
manner.
After the pleasing ceremonies the
one hundred and fifty happy guests
proceeded to the spacious dining room,
where princely collation. had been
prepared. Two large tables hand,
somely arranged were ladened with
delicacies of every description.
The happy couple received very
many beautiful presents. Lack of space
forbids detailed description of them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bateman will leave
this city on the $40 train this after
noon for Camden, where handsomely
furnished home prepared by the groom
awaits their arrival. The happy pail
are followed with the best wishes of q
large circle of friends and acquaint
ances. The PIONEER tenders its con
gratulations.

A Relic of the War.

In T. H. Bowen & Co.'S window on

trumpet. Upon card is the following:

oath, 1887. This is the trumpet Of
which Lawrence" talked of about a
month ago. In his description he gave
Capt. Bowen's name as Frank. 1t
should have been Capt. Geo. Bowen.
Capt. Bowen states that the story Civ
en- by him was substantially true. Ia
the trumpet is large dent which was
made by bullet from the company
of Capt. Bowen at the time above
mentioned. The trumpet attracts
much attention from passers-by, and is
highly priced by its owner, Mr.. Bell,
as forcible reminder of most mem
orable occasion.

The present condition of our streets
furnishes one of the best arguments in
favor of some more efficient system of
repairing them. At present they are
little better than bed of deep mud.
What is the best way to remedy the
evil? Cobblestones are not the most
pleasant thing in the world but it may
be we will have to come to them unless
more agreeable alternative can be
named. To have them as they are now
will only prove to be worse in another
winter. 1t has been almost impossible
to get through the streets with team
this Winter and if it continues to grow
worse what are the teams to do next
Winter.

That Extension.

The head surveyor OF the West Jer-
sey Railroad, who has been surveying
about this city for some weeks past,
says that the daily papers of this city
are building more railroads than the
Company. Every place he goes in and
is discovered the newspapers follow
the announcement of his arrival by a
couple of columns on new railroads.
He is very reticent when approached
upon the railway project in this city.
1t is pretty certain that something will
be done, but whatever it is nothing is
known by any but those interested.
The surveyor was ordered from this
city to Wilmington about week ago,
and got as far as Camden. Something
transpired, however, as he was sent
back to this place with orders to lay
out a route to bring the depot in the
heart of the city, and make map OF
the same, and not to leave until it was
finished This looks like business, and
it is pretty certain that we will have a
depot down town.

The Festive Tramp.

1t is interesting sometimes to watch
the diversity of characters of the
tramps who night after night lodge in
the lookup. A PIONEER reporter. the
other morning watched eleven of them
as they filed out of the lookup after a
night there. The Mayor stood at the
door taking the names and keeping
count of the worthless fellows. Tall
men and short, stout and thin were
among the number Old and young
men composed the bevy of wanderers
The most noticeable thing about the
whole of them was the plain evidence
that they all use liquor. Some of the
tramps must take broom and clean
up the Office for the privilege of lodg-
ING. A policeman stood near as they
filed out. and he said that all of them
were old dodgers, coming there night
after night. AS soon as released, these
worthless strike out over the town and
beg something to eat. They then lie
around all day and return to the lookup
at night,
1t is an abominable nuisance, and
something should be done by the
authorities to break it up and rid
our city of them. What we really need
is a work house, and tramps would GO
further than Bridgeton before they
started.

There is an inoffensive but rather an
eccentric colored man living in the
Third ward. 1t seems to be a special
delight to certain class of young boys
to prove annoying to the old gentle
men. On Friday afternoon one of
the boys threw a stone through his
window. This very much exasperated
the old fellow and he caught up a
small rattan and rushing out caught
the boy and gave him quite a thrash
ing. Complaint was made to justice
of the peace by the boys parents, but
after inquiring into the case the justice
refused to take any notice of it.

He Held Her Hand.

Among the Bridgetonians who visited
Washington recently, and took in the
sights, was well-known citizen who
always appreciates beauty no matter
in what form it appears. Female
beauty, however, is his hobby. Along
with others he went in to see Mrs.
Cleveland, Growers young and beauti-
full bride, and he was so delighted with
her appearancet that he went the rounds
twice for the sake of pressing her hand.
He was SO much carried away with
the lady of the White House that his
companions thought awhile that it
would become necessary to carry him
home on shutter. AS it is he is not
yet done telling about the softness OF
her palms, and other remarkable
characteristics of the young lady from
Buffalo.

Send the Best Men.

There is likely to be a marked
change in the membership of the next
Board of Freeholders. Several con-
tests are in progress in the townships
near Bridgeton, and the opinion is
expressed that new men will appear
from two wards in Millville, and per-
haps new one from Fairfield. AS
the Board of Freeholders is the County
Legislature, care should be taken by
the voters that competent and proper
men are chosen to fill so responsible
a trust. The number of terms one has
served as Freebooter should not stand
in the way of reelection, provided the
candidate has served his constituents
well, and proven a good officer.
